He grinned at her false bravado, her green eyes flickered and the golden shades of it were more intense, he saw determination, which he could use to his advantage.

"Unless you wish to buy it back, it's worth over a million dollars"

Keira hesitated, where was she going to find a million dollars? With Sam's college fund and their welfare, those were out of the question. Their trust fund obtained from their deceased parents had been kept for emergencies only, it wasn't even close to half a million.

His grey eyes mocked her with a sardonic smile that left her stomach in knots. This was the most inconvenient time to think about how overpowering his steely eyes were or the fact that he was a very gorgeous and fascinating specimen.

"I have a proposal for you, that could turn this around."

The CEO's Meticulous Bride

"I don't blame you for pulling a fast one on me like that yesterday"


He twirled the string on the phone, inching closer to hear her warm voice above the crying.


"Listen, I was going to ask if you'd like to grab a bite sometime...with me"


Keira frowned dragging a pen with Darby "Stop it...what time?"


Sam picked up interest coming to lie down swinging her legs.


"Sweet" Darby squealed reaching for the phone while she carried him around talking, she turned off the phone giving him a rattle and he slammed it against the counter.


"I hope" Sam teased, from her look, Keira thought she already has the night in mind.


Logan sighed hanging by her door, he almost gave a bittersweet laugh, anticipating a surprise that might knock him dead.


He huffed opening the door and looked down at Darby on the floor teething on a piece of apple, Darby's eyes moved to him when Logan carried him.


He grimaced when the baby stuck the dented apple on his face while Sam rubbed the couch erratically.


"You leave one baby on the couch and this is what you get" She shook her head and dumped the rag full of semi-solid food into a bucket and rose from the chair smiling at him.


Darby pulled at his scarf and she smiled taking him.


   He smiled when she appeared in a black coat, pantyhose, and low platform heels, her hair had been blown up to look bigger and wavier. He exhaled when he got the wind knocked right out of him.


She shrugged with that million-dollar smile grabbing her purse.


  They went to an exclusive restaurant uptown and Keira looked around the well-lit place with chandeliers and a private band. French.


"I didn't expect any less from you, Logan," She said to him and he grinned helping her out of her jacket grinning at her plain green cotton dress and pennant that hung low on her bodice. The ring he gave to her glittered on her finger.


"Bonsoir, Bienvenue chez peter" The receptionist spoke to them and Logan held the small of her back and responded in impressive French.


The receptionist nodded ushering them to an exclusive table and the receptionist helped her sit and she nodded in appreciation.


"It's necessary" He uncuffed his sleeve buttons and a waiter passed them menu cards.


"De rien Monsieur, avoir une personne de votre exploit dans notre établissement est un délice rare"


(You're welcome Monsieur, having a person of your feat in our establishment is a rare delight)


"Tout le plaisir est pour moi...yada yada"


He pointed to the meal he liked and the waiter faced her with a courteous smile.


"Macaroni au Fromage. J'aurai du chou frisé et du vermouth" Logan said with a smirk and the waited cracked up leaving


"That better be something I can eat" She laughed uncomfortably.


"It's mac and cheese, trust me, you don't want to know what's on the menu"


"Some waiter" She let go of her card and grabbed a glass of water
